Missing Profile, can't access Profile Manager, can't go forward
yahoo somehow gained access and changed settings in my safari and firefox browsers, was unable to change default search engine settings for more than a minute, even removing yahoo engine would only last a minute, so i deleted firefox, re-downloaded, now my profile is missing...
I can't access profile manager via Terminal, I can't do anything, Firefox is non-operational at this point and I don't know how to fix it.

In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.

YES!! I love you, running Mavericks, wasn't even aware of the Go folder option, once I understood that I went directly to
/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/profiles.ini
deleted it, and starting fresh, thank you so much...
I wish i knew how I can prevent yahoo from taking over my browser (which is how my problems started)
